Qué bueno que el Patriarca Teodoro II vaya a estar con ellos en la Nueva Kío. Me llama la atención que después de la Liturgia hagan el memorial justo por los que murieron en la Catástrofe de Asia Menor del 22, eso le da un peso especial al día. Ojalá mucha gente de la parroquia pueda ir y rezar juntos.

Bine că Patriarhul Teodor al II-lea vine la Sfânta Irina din Noua Kios. Îmi place că după Sfânta Liturghie fac parastas exact pentru martirii din Catastrofa Micrasiată din 1922, se potrivește cu istoria locului plin de refugiați. O să fie o zi cu greutate, să dea Dumnezeu să vină multă lume.

Sí, coincido contigo, Miguel, ese memorial después de la Liturgia le da un toque muy fuerte al evento, sobre todo en un pueblo lleno de familias que llegaron huyendo del 22. Yo intentaré ir desde México aunque sea por unos días, porque ver al Patriarca Teodoro II en un sitio así debe ser algo especial. ¿Tú crees que habrá mucha gente de otras parroquias cercanas?
